Dirk Nowitzki has a good feeling about the Mavericks’ changes from
last season, but he admits training camp has a different look.

He said he still is getting over the fact that Jason Kidd and Jason
Terry aren’t on the team. Kidd will open camp with New York today and
Terry is with the Celtics.

“I was obviously disappointed the way July started,” Nowitzki said.
“First, Deron [Williams] didn’t come and then J-Kidd and Jet left,
obviously, two warriors that have been through a lot of stuff with me
and we won the championship together. They were like brothers to me. So
it was tough to see those guys go somewhere else. It’s going to be weird
to see them in different uniforms, for sure.”

Briefly: The Mavericks will have their second and
final day of two workouts Monday. They will follow that with single
practices Tuesday and Wednesday before traveling to Europe … The team
will have its Mavs Masters golf tournament Tuesday. The event is sold
out.
